Cheats (Worms Armageddon)
From Worms Knowledge Base
Here is a list of unlockable cheats in Worms Armageddon. While these are called "cheats" by the game, a more accurate description of these would be "unlockable scheme options", as applying these does not give a particular player any advantage over another player. These options only enable a wider variety of gameplay configuration, unlike cheat codes in many other games.
Contents
After gold medals in Trainings
Training | Cheat Unlocked | Extra Notes |
---|---|---|
Basic Training | Blood Mode | Worms that take injury produce red particles. |
Super Sheep Racing | Aqua Sheep | Aqua Sheep can fly underwater as well as in the air. |
Rifle Range | Shotgun Upgrade | Shotgun has twice damage, twice blast radius, and fires twice per shot. |
Crazy Crates | Sheep Heaven | A Sheep will jump from each exploded weapon crate (utility and health crates don't release sheeps), and these sheeps will automatically explode on contact (like when Super/Aqua Sheep is flying and space bar is pressed). The weapon inside the crates can be any, and is not necessarily a sheep weapon. Also, all Super/Aqua Sheep and Sheep Launcher have increased lifespan of 255 seconds, but the regular Sheep weapon (and all the other animals) will not receive this effect. |
Artillery Range | Grenade Upgrade | ??? |
Euthanasia / Advanced Weapons Training | Longbow Upgrade | ??? |
After missions (gold medal not required)
Mission Number | Cheat Unlocked | Extra Notes |
---|---|---|
4 | Laser Sight | - |
8 | Jet Pack | - |
13 | Fast Walk | - |
16 | Invisibility | - |
20 | Low Gravity | - |
25 | Indestructible Terrain | Terrain can no longer be damaged |
33 | Banana Upgrade | Banana Bombs and Super Banana Bombs produce 8 clusters that each deal 100 damage instead of 75. |
After reaching (but not necessarily beating) the Elite rank Deathmatch
You will unlock the God Mode option. By enabling God Mode in the scheme settings, all worms have infinite health, and can only be killed by drowning them.
After you've unlocked every cheat mentioned above
You will unlock the Full Wormage scheme, as well as the ability to edit super weapons' settings and extended scheme options in the first-party scheme editor. Originally this would only unlock the Full Wormage scheme, but the ability to edit super weapon settings was added in v3.5 Beta 1, and the extended scheme options were added in v3.8. The extended scheme options can then be accessed by clicking the star-shaped icon in the top-right corner of the usual game options button.
Shortcuts to unlocking The Full Wormage and extended scheme options
Via cheat code
You can type boggysentme in the main menu to unlock extended scheme options and the Full Wormage scheme. When entered correctly, the door unlocking sound effect that plays when disabling team weapons in the scheme editor will play. This code sets a DWORD value named LocalProgressOverride in the Windows registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team17SoftwareLTD\WormsArmageddon\Options to 0x6ff8f617 (or decimal 1878586903), which overrides any progress your teams have made, so the extended scheme options will stay unlocked between sessions and if your team file is reset. This code can be typed again to disable this progress override.
This cheat code was not revealed with the release of WA 3.8 immediately. Instead, there were hints left for a community effort to try to find the code. The history of the code's discovery and final reveal are documented in the History of the Full Wormage shortcut cheat code article.
Note that despite the registry value name "LocalProgressOverride", this cheat code does not modify your effective single-player game progress. Therefore, it does not unlock all missions and the Elite (maximum difficulty) deathmatch rank. The only valid shortcut for that is still team file editing (using TeamED, for example).
Via team file editing
Using TeamED, you can take an alternative shortcut to unlocking everything listed in this article. To do so:
- Close Worms Armageddon if it's open.
- Install and run TeamED.
- Click "File" -> "Open Default W:A Team File".
- Click the "Cheat Settings (W:A Only)" button in the bottom-right.
- Enable "The Full Wormage" by clicking its checkbox. This will enable all other checkboxes.
- Click "OK".
- Click "File" -> "Save Current Team File".
At this point, everything listed in this article will be unlocked.
Disclaimer: These shortcuts are not intended to replace the single-player experience, which is still the recommended way to unlock these options. This information is included here because the information was available in this Worms Knowledge Base already, but unknown to some players. There were multiple reports online from players reacting to the release of the extended scheme options who reported that they were giving up on unlocking everything before attempting to do so. Those players seemed unaware that they could enjoy the extended scheme options without spending many hours unlocking it legitimately. |
